Requesting authority and approval to proceed with renovations to the 1st and 2nd floor hallways using a suspended ceiling system vs the plaster ceiling (that was in place prior to water damage caused by ruptured chiller pipe). Approval of this request will have no fiscal impact to the county and will allow easier accessability for maintenance.

Original water estimate for the 1st and 2nd floor hallways was $51,836.62. The revised estimate using the suspended ceiling with additional AC duct and lighting is $53,026.39. A difference of $1,189.77, however CAS is willing to waive the difference in order to complete the repairs to the 1st and 2nd floor hallways for the original amount proposed which has already been factored in the build back proposal. As of June 2nd the asbestos abatement for A/C duct has been completed to 2nd floor.
